>>...How it is hung is critical. They are designed to be hung in a parabola
which disperses the enormous weight of the canvas.  The GNMP painting had
been hung in the Neutra-designed building hanging down straight which put
enormous strains on the painting...

Margaret,

Another factor which convinces me that the Cyclorama building was of a
terrible design - both functionally and asthetically.

The darn thing couldn't properly display the painting, and it couldn't keep
the damn rain out either.
